Congressman Mo Brooks responded this morning to President Trump's endorsement of Sen. Luther Strange in Alabama's special election for the Senate.

"I respect President Trump, but I am baffled and disappointed Mitch McConnell and the Swamp somehow misled the President into endorsing Luther Strange," Brooks said in a press release.

Brooks, a Republican from Huntsville, suggested Trump is unaware of the circumstances of Strange's appointment by former Gov. Robert Bentley and Strange's support for maintaining Senate filibuster rules, which some say jeopardize the Trump agenda.

"Perhaps President Trump is unaware that Luther Strange wants to keep the Senate's 60 percent rule that empowers Chuck Schumer and the Democrats to kill the entire conservative, Republican, and President Trump legislative agendas," Brooks said.

According to some poll results, Brooks is competing for a spot in a runoff with Strange and former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore in the Republican primary. There are nine candidates. Voters will decide on Tuesday.

Brooks said he would continue to support Trump's agenda and believes he can make the runoff despite the president's endorsement of Strange.

"The President has bigger things going on than a campaign, that's for sure," Brooks said. "In any event, while Mitch McConnell and the Swamp managed to mislead the President last night, I still support the America First Agenda, and all the polls show we have momentum."
